Re: One more on sort order...

sed -E -e 's/^(TALB|TPE1|TIT2)=([Aa]n?|[Tt]he) (.*)$/\1=\3, \2/' <
atrontc.bak atrontc.vtc

is this what it is suppose to look like on one line?

i am still looking thru it (do not know sed) but i get a file not
found..

sed: atrontc.vtc: No such file or directory

going to man sed and take a look

thanks!
